This just started last night...or by the time most of you read this 2 nights ago...AMD doesn't know...EA doesn't know...Nvidia doesn't know...HP doesn't know...in short everyone that should know doesn't. Now on to the problem
While playing BF2 in Multiplayer mode the game will freeze up after about 3-5mins of playing. I can't ALT-F4 nor can I alt-Tab, or CTRL-ALT-DEL, my whole system locks up forcing me to manually shut down and reboot. Upon rebooting my screen looks like this...

Except all the colors are correct, the photo distorted them. I have to restart though the start menu to have the screen return to normal.
Thinking it was the video card overheating I ghetto up an extra fan to keep it cool and rejoined BF2...after 4 mins of playing in multiplayer I was holding at 55c and it happened again. I had to do the above process again(unplug-replug...get wierd screen and restart) to get back to nomal.
Rulling out the Video card I believed it was something with my computer...Virus of the sort...I ran a complete Nortan and Spy sweeper and nothing showed up...
So I reformated the entire PC. Reinstalled all my drivers, including the motherboard, and installed BF2 and the updated patch...ran again and Boom another one bits the dust.
Further believing it has to do with BF2 I ran BF:FH for 2 hours today with not so much as a hick-up, I know it wasn't my internet cause I am on a reliable connection. I can run everyprogram in the book but BF2 without a flaw...now granteed nothing taxis a system like BF2.
What bothers me most is this happened out of the blue...nothing was downloaded that week onto my computer...not a nortan update not spysweeper, not so much as a porn video. Then without changing anything in game this problem shows up.
I might have found atleast the most likly suspect...AMD. I read in a abscure post that when a true 64bit AMD processor is running at 100% and the power supply is messed with, increases or decreases it what i think they ment, it will cause the Processor to crash hence the computer. But I currently have my computer hooked up to an Uninterruptible power supply UPS. So that would mean the CPU power supply the cord goes into...but I need confrimation that this has happened to other people and what other people have come up with.
O and BTW this problem doesn't present itself while playing Singleplayer BF2...
I know some people were saying PB but woun't that update by itself? And if not will not updating it cause this?
